 | I can't see the animation in my custom layout |
Cause: You can add animation effects to the slide master and its corresponding slide layouts when you create a presentation in PowerPoint 2011 but the animation won't work if you open the presentation in PowerPoint 2004 or an earlier version.
| Solution: Only animate text or objects in normal view. |
To make the presentation that you create in PowerPoint compatible with earlier versions, don't apply animation effects to the slide master or its corresponding slide layouts in slide master view.
